Micah gently ruffled Noah's hair, a tender smile on his face. "That's right, all three of you are priceless treasures," he said. He then gestured to the money, "Hold onto that. When the time comes for you to start your own brand, you can use it as your startup capital." Noah, his eyes wide with youthful ambition, nodded in earnest agreement.Andrew, watching the exchange, couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. "So young and already thinking about starting your own brand?" he mused aloud. Micah simply laughed, guiding the children towards the soccer field. "Come on, let's go play."From the sidelines, Mr. Clemens Senior watched the scene unfold, his heart swelling with joy. Seeing his grandson and great- grandchildren playing together, he couldn't help but think that this was what true happiness looked like. Meanwhile, Sadie had just managed to stumble into the first-floor restroom when she collapsed, blood pouring from her nose in an unstoppable stream. The excruciating pain at the back of her head returned, feeling as if someone was relentlessly hammering at her skull, trying to split it open. She clutched her head with both hands, writhing on the floor in unbearable agony. Yet, she bit her lower lip, refusing to let out a sound."Mr. Clemens needs some coffee. Could you take some over, along with some fruit and desserts?" Brenda's voice echoed in the lobby."Of course, Brenda. We'll attend to it right away."Once the maids had cleared out of the first-floor lobby, Brenda hurriedly knocked on the restroom door. "Miss, there's no one outside. May I come in?" she called out. When there was no response, Brenda cautiously turned the doorknob. The sight that greeted her made her gasp in shock."Miss!" Brenda rushed forward to support Sadie, her voice filled with worry. "What happened to you? I thought you were feeling better. How did this start again? How could this happen?""Close... close the door," Sadie managed to moan through the pain.Brenda quickly complied, closing the door behind her. She soaked a towel in cold water and gently wiped Sadie's face. Seeing Sadie in such pain frightened Brenda, her hands trembling as she cried, "Miss, we need to go to the hospital. I'll take you there.""No, we can't go out," Sadie weakly clung to the sink, her voice barely a whisper. "I'm getting married tomorrow. I've been looking forward to it for so long. I can't ruin it now.""But, Miss...""It'll be okay soon, very soon," Sadie assured her, her eyes fluttering shut as she gradually lost consciousness. In a daze, she whispered, "Don't let others know."Brenda, tears streaming down her face, carefully cleaned the blood off Sadie's face. She quietly opened the door to check if anyone was outside before dragging Sadie to her room. Once inside, she locked the door and brought a basin of hot water, gently cleaning Sadie's body while sobbing. Brenda was terrified. She was scared that Sadie wouldn't wake up, scared that this terrible illness would continue to torment her. "Oh God, why are you doing this to our Miss? Why?" Brenda cried out in despair. "My Miss is so kind, so good. Why do you punish her like this? What did she do to deserve this?""Sir, if you are looking down from the heavens, please bless Miss!" Brenda pleaded, her voice choked with tears. "Sir, what should I do?"Brenda cried until her tears ran dry. When Sadie finally woke up, she weakly muttered, "Brenda, don't cry, don't be afraid. After the wedding tomorrow, I'll go see a doctor.""Okay, okay. I will accompany you," Brenda nodded, trying to steady her voice. "Miss, do you feel a little better?""Yes," Sadie replied, her hand instinctively moving to cover her head. "This time, the pain seemed shorter. You see, it means the problem isn't as serious as before."Despite her words, Sadie's smile was strained. She didn't voice her thoughts, but she knew that although the pain had been shorter this time, the intensity was far more severe. She felt as if she was teetering on the brink of death. For a moment, it was as if she could see her Daddy, waving at her from the heavens.
